I really wish I could say “screw you” to Adobe, but I’m in a work group in which we have to pass Adobe files back & forth between each other. 
Where did Lori go? Miss her!
Lory got a job with Apple. 
We’ll rotate people until we find a suitable replacement.

Leo you asked in MBW who the Air Pod Max is for, even at that price it’s me. I drive trucks across the country, ride Amtrak, Greyhound, UBER, etc… even during CoronaVirus season. I use my OTE headphones 
in the truck because it’s so loud, but if a call comes in on my iPhone I can’t answer it while wearing . I wear AirPods other places but they fall out at will changing planes, trains, and Automobiles… FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK, FxxK … Anyway, I’ve been waiting for these and in 26 weeks when my blue pair is ever delivered, I will own them proudly…

Great show! Merlin was good to hear from again. I recently got back in the Mac game with the new M1 and have been enjoying catching up on MacBreak shows over the past 4 weeks!
I did shout an audible “come on man” when in the same breath Andy said the president was right about the ATT / Time Warner acquisition but also that he was wrong because it was solely to spite CNN. I love ya Andy, but come on man!
Keep up the great shows!

I have listen to MBW for quite a while now. But, this weeks episode is my favorite ever. I have never laughed so hard, while listening to a podcast. The group was so cohesive. Do whatever it takes to get Merlin permanently back in the saddle!!

Great show, as always! Just wanted to weigh in re: Apple’s Spatial Audio.
Right now, it does feel a bit like a novelty, but if we think of it in the context of augmented reality, I think we can begin to see the value in “anchoring” sound to a “virtual” object in an AR space.
Much like visual occlusion helps sell a virtual object’s place in an AR space by interacting and anchoring to the real world environment, so too could proximity and directional feedback add a layer of realism to sound in AR.
Just my two cents! Cheers!!
Again, I think it’s early days, but I think this is a small piece of a bigger AR play.
I had the same thought when they introduced spatial audio and lidar— this all testing for AR, likely glasses.
